- Jerry is finally coming into the home stretch with this 12 string.
His attention to detail takes him back to sanding, scraping and more sanding.
In the end it will have earned the name ROSA!

My compliments to the person who suggested you accentuate the Rosa blessings rather than the opposite. It’s Always good when we count our blessings.
This 12 string has become part of my Saturday morning. Gonna miss it when it is finished!
"I'll let you know tomorrow, if I'm happy or cryin'." That is one beautiful 12 string, wish it were mine.
I can't wait for the conclusion. What a great build video.
Jerry, you are an amazing luthier.
You should have your own show on PBS.
Just love how Jerry is trusting Caleb with work on the guitar. Awesome!
That bridge has a lovely shape!
amazing how much time and work involved. good stuff Jerry!
I'm sitting in the yard, watching you on my phone and practicing my mandolin. I've dropped my pick now and a hen ran off with it.
Sounds like a song to me!!

"Oh well, it's not like I can't make more sawdust".
- Jerry knowing exactly where he sits in this world. (We hope you'll be making sawdust for a good long time, Jer)
You do good work, Jerry. I truly enjoy watching the care you put into it.
It sure looks good. I'm sure it will sound good too.
All I can say is if the buyer backs out I will be happy to add it with the Carolina Rose !
It’s looking Great 👍
Neat trick with that "binding" running round the heelcap!
Nice tip about comparing a drill bit with the screw, never thought of that!
Thanks for a top video, I love hard work, I can sit for hours watching you Jerry. 😂😂😂Respect and stay healthy all.
"Jerry and his colour blindness...". Wonderful Caleb...
Melissa is a wise woman!
Hi there, Jerry, I happily give you the "thumbs up" for every video you make, but today I gave it ...double happily for the trick at 24:35 about the correct size of drill bit.
this 12 string is going to be something extra special, I just have a gut feeling.
Steel rulers calibrated in hundredths of an inch work well for setup work too.
Hi Jerry. The guitar is looking beautiful and the gold hardware is really adding to the beauty. 👌
Great build so far. Inspired me to build my own guitars.
Sitting on my couch working on a neck, watching you work on a neck. lol. Great job!!!
Brilliant as ever Jerry (and Caleb)it’s getting there,can’t wait for episode 12 👍🇬🇧👍
You (and I, for sure) would be at the point with these tiny little details, that could make a fellow very nervous. This is where I would have to do a whole lot of thinking, a bit of head scratchin', and trying to decide to take that plunge or not. Man, I get nervous just watching you, Jerry! But, when you get 'er done, my friend, she looks beautiful. I mean, BEAUTIFUL. I'm not even have way into this video, and my heart is racing. ( Hope my BP isn't off the scale, yet -- still got a ways to go, Ha!). Jerry, if we ever meet on the other side, guy, I'm a-gonna want to shake yer hand. This is a well done, outstanding project, and I know will be something to brag about by some future owners. You are THE MAN !!! All the best to you from just some humble observer in Montana. ( I know I'm witnessing artistry and greatness in the making). Bob. 😀😀😀
Whew, that is a very purty guitar. And it's neat to see the process from a different angle than usual, this being a full build instead of a repair.
Another fine episode
you rock jerry,great job,thank you
Details in the detail! Patience before progress! 😎👍
Love the color of the fretboard!!!
Foam ear plugs are great for blocking spray in the tuner holes .
I see it Caleb. Jerry needs you to supervise so he doesnt screw up. Well done.
Great work Jerry and Caleb I cant wait to hear that beautiful guitar 👍
Another awesome great video. I think this will be a great guitar. One of the best you have ever built. Thanks for sharing your video and wisdom. I truly hope you have a blessed week.
Jerry, for the depth of your bridge inlay use a string action gauge. It's rectangular shape will span the hole on your proxon, and us calibrated in imperial and decimals. You can set the depth in just a couple minutes easily without a lot of head scratching.
Hi jerry. Looking really really good.
That's a stylish, refined looking guitar! I like that you strike a good balance between adornment and elegance. Nothing worse than a gaudy looking instrument. Really looking forward to hearing it 👍
I like the heel cap. Looks good blending with the binding.
The guitar is going to be absolutely gorgeous, i can't wait to hear it!
I'm loving this 12 string build. I would love to have this guitar.
BEAUTIFUL instrument, Jerry!
Twelve string guitars always amaze me from the engineering standpoint. Twelve strings at pitch means a pull of about two hundred pounds. The neck has a hell of a job just keeping straight. Looks like a wonderful job on this one here. I hope that it sounds as good as it looks!
The distance from the 12th fret to the saddle needs to be longer than the distance to the nut to compensate for the rise in pitch, caused by stretching the string. When you push the string against the fret you add a bit extra tension on the string, which rises the pitch. Making the string a bit longer by shifting the saddle lowers the pitch and you are in tune. This effect is stronger with thicker strings, therefore you need to compensate more on the low strings. This also means that you should do the intonation when the action is correct. The higher the action, the more you need to shift the saddle backwards.
Ok thanks Jerry , i will look in to that
Looks like you`ve done a real fine job.This will be a great guitar I bet...way to go
To set the router bit depth, just sit the inlays between the router base and the jig. Drop the bit till it touches the saddle and tighten it. Once you remove the inlays everything shifts the required depth down
Thats a good idea.
“Slick as snot on a doorknob!” Jerryism.
Sounds like a great title for a hillbilly song: "My greased pig was as slick as snot on a doorknob"
I wish i could afford a very nice 12 string acoustic that you built. I have been following this build from the start.
Hey Jerry....what if any things you did different to this build you have never done on any other of your builds? Say the the heel plate or the binding or anything? You could make a shop tricks video on all the things you did in the first build and how that evolved into your latest build. You must have done things to this build you have never done to others. We can benefit from your experience and knowledge. Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
That's gonna be a great sounding guitar
I don't want my comment to be taken as criticism. It's just something that was noticed. I really admire Jerry's work. I wouldn't have been following him for this long if I didn't.
Foam ear plugs work for filling tuner holes to keep the finish out.
My Yamaha FG820-12 has the heel cap half way up the binding. I would agree that this looks better.
"Since this is a European guitar, I am going to use the Metric system to find the center" LOL
center meters
Welcome to the metric.....
@@SawDustLiveMusic Centimetres...welcome to the real metric system! :)
One more thing......after the first time seeing your “Custom Made” intonation tool, rig, bridge finder, what ever you call it, I found it to indispensable to find the correct location of the intonation of the bridge! It is accurate and cheap to make. I would encourage anyone who does work on guitars to make one, especially those who build or restores guitars! I have 2. Mine will work for acoustic and electric guitars and basses. The on I use for a bass is not quite as wide. This is for permanently mounted brigades, you don’t need one for floating bridges like mandolins or arch top guitars. Make sure to install leather or cork or some soft material on any part of the rig that would come in contact with the guitar, to protect the guitar finish. I only wish I would have had this tool when I first started working on guitars so many years ago. My first fail could have been avoided. Live and learn and oh boy can you learn from Jerry!!! Another fantastic tip from Jerry! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
I use an old modified tailpiece. Thank you Jerry, setting intonation on an acoustic is a no brainer now!
I have a couple of charts that list the required drill bit for each screw size - I don't remember where or how I got them. Most of the time I just use the same 'by eye' method
Is there is final video (Part 12) of this awesome build yet?
The neck heel has a gap where it contacts the body...is that going to be an issues with the buyer? 13:39
glue
@@RosaStringWorks Sorry, it looked like a gap.
For intonation, the distance between the nut and 12th fret should not be exactly the same as the 12th fret to the saddle. Fretting the string increases the string tension ever so slightly, raising the pitch, so for perfect intonation the distance from the 12th to the saddle should be a tiny bit longer than from the nut to the twelfth, with the amount of difference depending on the action height. By the way, great tone from this guitar, it's going to be sweet.
Those measurements sound great on paper but they don't always work in real life trust me I know
I would think that the action being so high right now during the test that would make it a bit sharp as well...
Its low not high
Hey Jerry, I am really loving the progress and the look of this 12 string. I agree with you on your comment that you like to leave the neck unfinished and just use oil. I have a Yamaha acoustic, with a neck that is high gloss and I am so tempted to remove it because I prefer a bare neck. It helps you move down the neck faster. I know that you use Adirondack spruce for your guitar, but is there any difference between the sound quality of a guitar that uses Adirondack vs Engelmann
Hello Jerry. I enjoy watching you (even when you're grumbling) and wish I could be your next door neighbor.
I have a question, but first keep in mind my knowledge of luthiery is next to zero) will the owner of this masterpiece tuned it down to D, G, C, etc and will this make a difference in its intonation? Do other guitar makers keep this in mind when creating a twelve string? Also, as a rule, do you recommend that owners of twelve strings tune them down a whole step even if the guitar has a truss rod?
Jerry, are you planning on tuning this beautiful instrument to E, rather than D, which is what most 12 string guitars are set to? And if that's the case, then shouldn't you have set the intonation at D?
It's Saturday night and I'm in bed with my wife. I can't think of anything better to do than to watch Jerry build a twelve string on my phone. My wife doesn't agree.
Your wife doesn't know what she is missing. 😀😀😀
Why don't you buy her a phone, so she can watch Jerry too?
@@j.d.schultzsr.9215 That's a good idea! If she gets angry I'll say it was your idea!
An interesting dilemma ? LOL .....
turner holes... foam eye plugs ..?
Looks great, but I have to respectfully say that the neck joint seems to not sit flush with the body and I notice some gaps. Are you able to correct that? Everything otherwise looks wonderful, but that is something I noticed.
just glue
It looks to me like there are some very small gaps between the neck and the body. I don’t recall seeing you do any sand paper pulling in this area. Was that an oversight b any chance? Not trying to be critical - you do amazing work, Jerry - just an observation.
I think it was in optical llusion I believe that was just glue
❤
I think Caleb is about to graduate to journeyman status lol
Journeyman status, for most trades, is 4 to 5 years.
I think he's jumping the gun...1 yr to learn from a master?
He is not a journeyman...just my opinion.
I have been watching your 12 string build waiting to see whether you would intonate it like a 6 string or whether you have some special tricks to also intonate the octave strings , perhaps using a shelf saddle.
I have never seen you either make or work on a compensated nut but do you have any thoughts on whether they are worthwhile as an alternative to sweetened tuning?
I am not a fan of a compensated nut I disagree with the concept behind them
Brilliant and heartwarming as always. Per your videos, I have bought myself an Inline taper gauge. Dumb question - when you are measuring action, are you putting the gauge on top of the 12th fret or on the fretboard next to it? Seems like on top of the fret makes more sense but wanted to confirm w the master. Once again, grateful for the content you provide & your little island of common sense & beauty in these crazy times 🙏
Definitely, absolutely, no doubt about it, on top of the fret.
@@zapa1pnt Thank you!
Just an observation with little experience, your method of routing the bridge inlays assumed the bridge was the same thickness on both sides. How about setting the bit to touch the surface, then placing two .050 shims on the jig and lowering the bit again? Maybe easier said than done, like I said I have little practical experience with a router. It would take the calipers out of the equation.. We all have our opinion. I love your videos.
How important is it to have a good digital caliper I see so many at different prices with different reviews its confusing..what do you use you seem to get great results..is it worth it to spend a bunch on a high quality caliper..thanks..
igaging is the brand I use. Quality at a reasonable price.
There is a slight gap where the neck heel meets the body.
Glue
Jerry, I'm curious as to what those fret board inlays represent...are they a symbol of some kind ?
Used in Scotland a lot to represent the Trinity
@@RosaStringWorks By using this symbol leads me to believe that you are a BORN AGAIN Christian...am I correct ?
It's celtic Ireland uses it to
Mr. Rosa are you sick? Are your hands acting up? I'm asking because it's been two weeks since this video was aired. I and others miss you.
If you are feeling poorly I wish you well.
Lo no v love love this work
Have you ever built an archtop guitar. Is there a noticeable difference in sound?
No I have not and yes there is a big difference in sound
. Can anybody please tell what the brand of those blue towels are,as I live in Australia and want to know if we have similar here thanks
Hi Jerry have you sent out the final Finnish, when will you release part 12
I have covered the status of the 12 string several times in the last several shop talks
Jerry. I know you have 30 some years experience in guitars ECT.
I had a business of electric,s and finish work was my shining star. Please Jerry when using lacer nitro. Test test test first
Jerry when will you send out the final finnish
What is the top made of?
I think he said Adirondack spruce
@@jeyapragashradhaakrishnan3443 Thanks.
Tradesmen use mm. Only salesmen and IKEA use centimetres. Half of 130mm is 65mm.
Enjoying the build. One item I don't agree with is your choice of tuners. Those Grovers weight a ton. I just checked. 12 Grovers will weigh 1.2 pounds! A dozen Waverly tuners would weigh .75 a pound. The Grovers function fine, it's just that they are so heavy. Just my observation and thoughts.
